The Associate of Science degree in Teacher Education transfers into a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.E.) degree or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program at ENMU and is consistent with the requirements of the Postsecondary Education Articulation Act [21-1B NMSA 1978]. Please note that there are courses required as part of the Education degrees at ENMU Portales that are not required in the Education degrees here at Roswell; however, we do offer some of those lower-division requirements here on our campus. Please consult an advisor to learn more about opportunities to take courses at the Roswell campus while working on the upper division requirements of the Bachelor degrees at ENMU Portales. Finally, please speak with an advisor for guidance on transferability to a four-year campus to ensure maximum transferability.

The Associate of Science degree is used statewide by students pursuing a program of study leading to teacher certification. Students who anticipate transferring to one of the New Mexico public universities and majoring in education should follow this module of lower division courses. Check with the transfer institution requirements to select the appropriate courses from the Associate of Science degree plan courses.

When thinking about what elective courses to choose for this degree, please think about the subject you would be choosing to teach in high school. For example, if you want to be a math teacher, you should take math electives. If you want to be an Ag teacher, you should take Ag electives. Please speak to an advisor for more guidance.
